The Honorable, The Legislature:
Section
36.11(22)(2)(b), Wisconsin Statutes, requires the Board of Regents to annually submit a report to the chief clerk of each house of the Legislature on the methods used by each UW System institution to disseminate information to students on sexual assault and sexual harassment.
The law requires UW System institutions to incorporate into their orientation programs for newly entering students oral and written information on sexual assault and sexual harassment, including information on: (1) sexual assault by acquaintances of the victims; (2) the legal definitions and penalties for sexual assault; (3) generally available national, state, and campus statistics on sexual assault; (4) the rights of victims; and (5) protective behaviors including methods of recognizing and avoiding sexual assault and sexual harassment. In addition, each institution must annually supply to all students enrolled in the institution printed material that includes information on all of these topics. This law was enacted in April 1990 and this is the thirteenth report to be compiled for the Legislature since its enactment.
At its meeting April 9, 2004, the Board of Regents accepted the attached report for submission to the chief clerk of each house of the Legislature for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under s.
13.172(3). The attached report fulfills the requirements of this statute.
If you need additional information regarding this report, please contact Janice Sheppard at

The Honorable, The Legislature:
I am pleased to present to you the FY 2003 annual report from the State Council on Affirmative Action. The report summarizes the Council's activities, and highlights the Third Annual Diversity Award that encourages best practices in affirmative action and diversity initiatives.
S788
The Council's overall purpose is to foster measurable progress towards an equitable and diverse work force in state government and the University of Wisconsin system.
Its efforts will complement the office's mission, which is to attract and retain a diverse and talented workforce to ensure the best service to the public.
I firmly believe the Council will continue its efforts to cultivate the climate of diversity in both Wisconsin State government and the university campuses around the state.
Sincerely,
